Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
NOT so great britain : Muslim migrant screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ murders 3, court trying to determine if he had religious motive

Murdering Jihadi
Jihad Watch : “As part of his sentencing, a hearing will decide if he was motivated by a religious or ideological cause.” This is a distinction without a difference, and part of the endless efforts of British authorities to distance Islam from the crimes and atrocities committed in its name and in accord with its teachings.
“Reading stabbings: Man motivated by ‘religious jihad,'” BBC, January 5, 2021:
A man who stabbed three people to death in a Reading park
believed he was carrying out “an act of religious jihad”, a court has
heard. Khairi Saadallah, 26, stabbed to death James Furlong, 36, David
Wails, 49, and Joseph Ritchie-Bennett, 39, during the attack in Forbury
Gardens in June.
As part of his sentencing, a hearing will decide if he was motivated by a religious or ideological cause. The prosecution claim the stabbing spree was a terror attack. Saadallah has admitted three counts of murder and attempted murder, but denies he was motivated by an ideology.
Prosecutor Alison Morgan QC told the court he “executed” his victims
and intended to “kill as many people as he could” in the name of violent
jihad. She said: “In less than a minute, shouting Allahu Akhbar the
defendant carried out a lethal attack with a knife, killing all three
men before they had a chance to respond and try to defend themselves.
“Within the same minute, the defendant went on to attack others
nearby, stabbing three more people, Stephen Young, Patrick Edwards and
Nishit Nisudan, causing them significant injuries.” Stating the prosecution’s case she said the attack was “carefully
planned and executed” by the defendant with “determination and
precision”.
She added: “The defendant believed that in carrying out this attack
he was acting in pursuit of his extreme ideology, an ideology he appears
to have held for some time. “He believed that in killing as many people as possible that day he was performing an act of religious jihad.”…
In interviews with police he “howled like a dog” and claimed to have
magic powers, which the prosecution said was a “disingenuous” attempt to
suggest he had a mental disorder…. Saadallah arrived in the UK as an asylum seeker in 2012, having fled the civil war in his home country of Libya in North Africa. The court heard the defendant, who had been refused asylum, had been
involved with militias as part of the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi.
Between 2013 and 2020 he was repeatedly arrested and convicted of various offences in the UK….
